You've got to send appropriate fractions of yourself "back".
That's why I'm growing my hair out. I need to collect 20kg to cover that Irish quarter.

I really don't understand why you think you should have passed back to Le Fee? Is it dishonorable to exploit opposition errors?
Safc didn't dominate vs arsenal as they did today but they sure gave arsenal far more of a equal game than most others did this year.

... Look at the table maybe?....
NUFC are 12th. They're not in the same league as the big 6 (well, maybe spurs).
Sunderland had 4 attacking players on the pitch. It was a flexible 4-2-3-1. With Sunderland dominating it was 4-2-4.
In other games this year. Eg. Arsenal, it was 5-4-1.
December 14, 2025 at 8:48 PM
And no. You are coming across pretty arrogant with the whole never been relegated we don't care about your peasant club business.
December 14, 2025 at 8:45 PM
What on earth are you talking about?
The score was 2-2. You should know this.....
Should you have gave the ball back to Le Fee... Interesting. So now you recognise it's results rather than style that counts.
December 14, 2025 at 8:45 PM
Watch the highlights from the arsenal game. I recall one arsenal goal was amazing, one was just because Le Fee gave it away in our half.
This arrogance you're showing here demonstrates a lot. Part of what makes derby results beautiful. Many NU fans act this way with far less cause.
December 14, 2025 at 8:33 PM
I suspect you did watch the Sunderland-Arsenal game and you're imagining safc set up the same way vs a bottom half club as against a title contender.
Against arsenal it was 5-4-1.
Today more of a 4-2-4
December 14, 2025 at 8:29 PM
Sunderland didn't dominate possession LOL. NU had a bit more of the ball: though mostly in their own half.
That's how safc play. They dominate the game without the ball.
Sounds like you maybe watched the last 15 minutes only. Newcastle were on top in Sunderlands half then.
December 14, 2025 at 8:29 PM
As to a player going to A&E... I had to Google this. Again confirming you didn't watch the game.
It was a 50/50 for the ball and Burn got unlucky. Clearly nothing dirty in it.
December 14, 2025 at 8:19 PM
Arsenal fan eh.... Curious I see you're not the only one who has decided they hate Sunderland now. I had no idea there were such hard feelings after your near miss with us (if only you weren't gifted that goal...)
We honestly don't care about you guys at all.
December 14, 2025 at 8:18 PM
OK you clearly didn't watch the match. Sunderland dominated the game: kicked the ball out and tried to run back what? I recall this happening once. What are you even talking about?
December 14, 2025 at 8:18 PM
Being flat helps traditionally. Tho e-bikes have overturned that.
Lausanne is a good example here, a city built on a mountain side.
Traditionally micro scooters were the way to get around. Downhill only.
But now ebikes are really taking off.
Really though cyclability is 2nd best to walkability.
December 14, 2025 at 7:49 PM
You were clearly watching a different game to me. I was watching Sunderland vs Newcastle Utd.
The townies were incredibly dirty. Constantly holding and pulling. Not even trying to get the ball.
They're lucky they had the ref rooting for them or the game would have been even more one sided.

The team playing rugby were not the ones in red and white
December 14, 2025 at 6:34 PM
Different game to what I saw on the tele.
That foul was dodgy and could be card worthy but the only real one that stood out, and after a very soft yellow when something should have gone brobbeys way.... One of the few occasions the ref didn't back NU that foul.
December 14, 2025 at 5:48 PM
Hope theyre OK. The photo has front line infantry written all over it.
December 14, 2025 at 4:44 PM
Sunderland were really below their best. Dominating the game but doing nothing with it. Looked destined for NU to nick one.
Not sure what you mean on kicking people though. NU were one of the dirtiest teams I've seen this year. Endless grabbing. Huge ref aid for NU.

Less trust but politically easier too. Ireland and Austria have constitutional issues with a defensive alliance.
December 14, 2025 at 12:52 PM
Make it 2014 including Ukraines borders and deal. It's not like nato will change Sweden and Finlands allies anyway
December 14, 2025 at 12:50 PM
Probably helps that I was little but it always did seem so much bigger than the SOL. I do think having such a diversity of spaces, segregated areas, etc... Helped give this impression.

Most people: look at the camera so I can take your photo in front of the church.
Me: don't look at the camera. Get out of the shot. I'm filming these drop kerbs.

Awful headline. Petrol ban.
... No.... Just.... Would be that it were but.... No.
